National Coaching and
Mentoring Platform
The National Coaching and Mentoring Platform is a digital platform for managing coaching and mentoring services in health, social care and social work in Scotland.
Coaching
Coaching is a safe, confidential, enabling and developmental relationship which is tailored to the specific needs, style and context of the coachee.
Within the terms of a mutually agreed contract the coach ‘walks alongside’ the individual and supports them to explore, understand and act on whatever is significant for them.
The coachee is enabled to draw on and make the most of their own strengths, experience, skills and resources.
Mentoring
The focus of mentoring is developing the mentee professionally. It is about helping mentees build an appropriate larger picture that will support their future career choices.
Mentors normally have more experience than a mentee in a specific area. They can share experiences, offer advice, and open doors to opportunities.

Testimonies from Coachees
“I finish coaching a more complete person. I feel that I understand myself better, my motivations, and through this have been able to focus my work better.”
